50% footage of Garth crying
27 September 2021
A week on from watching this, I'm still processing it.

There is a line in a Harvey Andrews song which goes: "Well never meet your heroes, I've read that line somewhere; they're just like you and me friend, with all our hopes and our despairs".

For me, The Road I'm On, is like those lyrics coming to life. I know that by watching this 2 part documentary doesn't mean I have actually met Garth Brooks...but by watching it I can say that I really wouldn't actually like to meet him IRL. Despite writing some amazing songs and having an instantly recognisable voice and style, he just comes across as a bit...annoying. Such a shame.

I truly haven't got a problem with men crying - emotion is fine - but why did Garth want to portray that much emotion? It just felt a bit much at times.

My favourite part was when Trisha Yearwood said that when anyone says anything negative about 'In the life of Chris Gaines' it makes her want to punch them in the face. That album is such underrated brilliance and I still really hope someone still makes the movie one day.
